"I Had to Learn to Trust God"
(...continued from home page...)
Pam knew how bad living on the streets could be. Sleeping in a car. Not being able to bathe. Not having clean clothes.
So the following Monday, she called the Center for Women & Children and “begged them to let me back in the program.”
“I had a tendency to think I could handle everything myself,” Pam recalls. “But that never worked. So I tried to let God have a residence in my heart and I began to trust Him. He’s done everything He said He’d do…and more!”
After she graduated from the second phase of the Higher Ground Addiction Recovery Program, Pam had three choices: Servant Leadership Training, Job Placement or Career Development. Pam chose the career track and trained as a chef.
When she graduated, Wheeler hired her as an assistant cook!
Today, Pam shares her success story with the ladies at the Center, hoping it “helps someone so they don’t have to go down my road. I was tired and scared...tired of losing what little I did have, and scared that my first and only grandchild might see me high. I never wanted him to do that!”
Not long ago, Pam was blessed with her own apartment. Now, she’s the one who makes the rules…and obeys them! “I’ve just learned to have a servant’s heart and glorify God in whatever I do. I know that whatever happens, He’s got it under control.”
